Chapter 410: Yin-Yang Unity
Chapter 410: Yin-Yang Unity
Unlike before, the Celestial Ruin Heaven has now advanced to Tier 4, and the Twirling Meditation Seal has been enhanced to Sixth Rank, making its power far superior. It can not only exert full effect on Tier 4 units but even the Celestial Star Clan, a Fifth Rank entity, is currently slowed down sevenfold.
Although over 99% of the Song Clan's warships outside the Floating Continent are similarly affected, the dozen or so warships at the forefront of the fleet remain unaffected.
Celestial Star Continent, Celestial Star City.
Several Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan members, responsible for the second round of relief, were the first to discover the anomaly above the Celestial Ruin Heaven. They urgently piloted their advanced power armor and took to the skies, attempting to stop it all, but it was already too late.
From the surface of the Floating Continent, one could see that the crack on the Floating Continent's shield in the depths of the sky began to expand abruptly. Beyond the crack, a giant mecha over 100,000 meters tall was tearing it apart, causing the diameter of the crack to visibly widen.
However, the Celestial Star Clan above the sky reacted sluggishly to this anomaly.
By the time they unleashed more powerful firepower, a fiery figure had already expanded at an incredible speed.
Hiss! The Flame Dragon Lizard's body quickly expanded to over 200,000 meters, its intimidating size completely blocking the crack behind it. Dozens of power armors fired enhanced cannons, leaving scorched wounds on its crimson scales.
Seizing the opportunity, over a dozen Flame Torch Ships, each at least 3 kilometers long, quickly rushed into the Floating Continent through the crack, which had already widened to several kilometers.
These warships were equipped with energy shields of at least Red quality, enhanced to Fifth Rank, actively sharing the damage with the Flame Dragon Lizard, temporarily reducing the pressure on this newly-advanced Sixth Rank Dragon Vein creature.
Soon, over twenty more Deer Hunt Ships belonging to the Song Clan also entered the Floating Continent, one after another, under the slowed-down time.
Outside the Floating Continent's shield, the Ocean-Stabilizing Dragon Soarer, in its mecha form, showed no further action. The rear hatch of the mecha opened, and a "Infernal Dragon Demon" exuding a strong Sixth Rank life aura emerged, followed by the Song Clan's Deer Hunt Ships, which also rushed into the Floating Continent.
This Infernal Dragon Demon was acquired by Song Wujiang during an auction in the Bright Han Kingdom many years ago, attracted by its remarkable potential.
After all, Infernal Dragon Demons are the offspring of pure-blooded dragons and the true demons of the Infernal Abyss, inheriting the strengths of both lineages, making their potential astonishing. Even among the Star Sea Children, they are considered one of the most formidable.
Indeed, this Infernal Dragon Demon did not disappoint Song Wujiang. Over two thousand years, it not only reached Sixth Rank but also advanced earlier than the Ocean-Stabilizing Dragon Soarer. Now, it has even entered the ranks of Senior Sixth Rank lifeforms, and with its assistance, the suppression of the entire Celestial Star Continent will be much less troublesome.
As for Song Wujiang himself, he cannot directly enter the Celestial Star Continent and must remain outside to maintain this crack passage.
This passage is crucial for the safety of all Song Clan members who enter the Floating Continent. Whether it's the Infernal Dragon Demon or the Sixth Rank lifeforms like the Flame Dragon Lizard, they have volatile temperaments and tend to act on instinct, making them unsuitable for this task. It can only be entrusted to the Ocean-Stabilizing Dragon Soarer.
This way, if something unexpected happens inside the Floating Continent, the entire clan will not be left without a retreat.
Of course, this possibility is low. With multiple Sixth Rank lifeforms assisting and three battleships, this lineup is sufficient to suppress the Celestial Star Continent.
Above the Floating Continent's sky, after witnessing the appearance of the Flame Dragon Lizard and the Infernal Dragon Demon, Song Chi didn't hesitate. The Sixth Rank "One-Eyed Ogre," rewarded for providing the drop of Sovereign Blood, was summoned.
This is not all of the Song Clan's Sixth Rank enslaved beasts. Song Dingbang and Song Tianhao's flagship each has a Sixth Rank pure-blooded dragon as well. However, they had just advanced last year and are still consolidating their newly elevated life stages.
Additionally, Song Chi has heard that there is a Half-Seventh Rank Void Demon on the Original Ancestor's flagship and a Sixth Rank Vampire Prince on the Blood Clan's Floating Continent.
These are all the Sixth Rank enslaved beasts the Song Clan can currently deploy.
When first informed of this by the most senior elders, Song Chi found it hard to believe.
In his opinion, the Song Clan has a three-thousand-year-old tradition, and although the Fearless Fleet Captain had just advanced recently, the clan had battleship captains from its inception. After two thousand years, how could they have only a few Sixth Rank enslaved beasts?
After careful consideration, he quickly realized his mistake.
In fact, he had fallen into a misconception, assuming that Sixth Rank creatures were common in the Shattered Star Sea based on the Spirit Beast Sanctuary.
But the truth was far from that. Even in the vast Shattered Star Sea, Sixth Rank creatures were still considered extremely high-ranked beings. They were extremely rare, and the majority of mid to high-level civilizations that possessed Sixth Rank and above combat units were of a special mechanical nature.
For example, warships, puppets, mechas, and mobile fortresses, which could not be enslaved.
Additionally, only 6th-level and above Star Sea Floating Continents could nurture extraordinary carbon-based Sixth Rank life forms.
So, with the premise of being a Sixth Rank life form himself, and with the support of the 6th-level Floating Continent's origin rules, did he really think it would be that easy to capture or even enslave them with just one or two battleships?
If he thought that, he would be making a huge mistake.
Even this Sixth Rank One-Eyed Ogre was originally the Demon Blood's own enslaved beast.
It was only because Song Chi had made significant contributions, had great potential, and was highly likely to advance to the Fifth Rank Battleship Captain rank in the future, that the Demon Blood rewarded it to him.
Regarding this, Song Chi planned to wait for the Celestial Ruin Heaven to settle for a while longer, then borrow a few Sixth Rank creatures from the family's elders and take them to the Spirit Beast Sanctuary to try and enslave the Sixth Rank beasts within.
Although there weren't many Sixth Rank beasts in the Spirit Beast Sanctuary, there were at least over ten of them. They could start by choosing the weakest one for the trial.
By the time all the Deer Hunt Ships had entered the Celestial Star Continent, more than ten minutes had passed, and only ten minutes remained of the Twirling Time Domain's duration.
After a brief discussion, the twelve warships that were unaffected by the time slowdown divided into three groups and rushed towards the three Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan members below, aided by three Sixth Rank enslaved beasts. The Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan members, whose actions were slowed sevenfold, could only passively take the beating. Despite the support of the Floating Continent's rules, the three Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan members were eventually annihilated within a few minutes.
When the Twirling Time Domain's duration ended, the last Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan member, with a look of terror, quickly left with the other Fourth Rank Celestial Star Clan members, not daring to linger for a moment longer.
Even after joining the other four Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan members flying up from below, they didn't dare to stay, and they scattered and rushed towards the ground below.
Would the Fifth Rank units of a mid-level civilization that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years not understand the situation? As the center of the Celestial Star Continent, Celestial Star City housed most of the Celestial Star Clan's accumulated heritage over the past ten thousand years. With the intimidation of the three Sixth Rank life forms, it was only a matter of time before Celestial Star City was destroyed.
Based on this, only three of the five Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan members descended towards Celestial Star City, while the other two headed in different directions.
The magnetic wave communication group chat among the warships rang out with Song Dingbang's calm command.
"Xingru Guoniang, you're in charge of pursuing the Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan member heading north. I, along with Tianhao, and the Infernal Dragon Demon, will attack Celestial Star City with the Flame Dragon Lizard. As for the other Fifth Rank Celestial Star Clan member, Song Chi, you, Tian Shu, and Tian Mang, with the assistance of the One-Eyed Ogre, are you confident?"
"No problem!"
"Understood!"
With the orders given, the dozens of Song Clan warships in the sky also divided into three groups and descended towards different directions of the Floating Continent.
...
In the central region of the Celestial Star Continent, Celestial Star City.
As more than twenty power armors landed in the city, a semi-circular energy shield soon appeared above the city.
Being a mid-level Star Sea civilization with a technological focus, the Celestial Star Clan naturally possessed the technology of nuclear energy shields, which wasn't considered too advanced. At this moment, the large nuclear energy shield generator above Celestial Star City emitted a powerful defense, capable of withstanding even Sixth Rank attacks.
In the sky, the Infernal Dragon Demon wielded a tens of thousands of meters long red light greatsword. Beneath its arms, covered in blood-colored steam, the greatsword continuously slashed, sending crescent-shaped sword beams onto the nuclear energy shield below.
The Flame Dragon Lizard repeatedly opened its huge mouth, spitting out astonishingly large balls of scarlet flames, which, along with the crescent-shaped sword beams, continuously generated intense ripples on the nuclear energy shield.
The two battleships and multiple Deer Hunt Ships also kept firing, fully depleting the power of the nuclear energy shield.
However, it was foreseeable that this process would not be quick, and it would likely take a significant amount of time.
...
In the southern region of the Floating Continent, the Granite Mountain Range.
This was the location where Song Chi and the two elders were pursuing their target.
The Granite Mountain Range was an ultra-large mountain range in the south of the Celestial Star Continent, stretching over a trillion kilometers from east to west. Due to its vastness, after chasing the Fifth Rank Starlight Clan member to this area, the three of them encountered a dilemma.
It was no easy task to search for a Fifth Rank Starlight Clan member in such an extensive mountain range.
"Chi, let's split up and search in different directions. It'll be much faster this way."
In the group chat, the Elder of the Celestial Arts Clan spoke first.
He was the most eager to capture the Fifth Rank Starlight Clan member. Only by completing the task quickly could he join the main force in Celestial Star City as soon as possible. Most of the Starlight Clan's foundation was stored there, and they might miss out on many good things if they arrived late.
He was already close to 1,800 years old, nearing his limit. Only by accumulating funds during this war of expansion could he attempt to break through to the Fifth Rank and extend his lifespan.
Song Chi thought for a moment, consumed two Intermediate Dark Energy Crystals, and created two Shadow Medals, which he handed to the two elders.
Each of their battleships had a Fifth Rank enslaved creature, and they could summon the projection of the Celestial Ruin Heaven for combat at any time, ensuring their safety.
After the two elders received the Shadow Medals, Song Chi said, "Let's each take a direction. If we encounter the Fifth Rank Starlight Clan member, remember to contact me immediately!"
"Yes!"
Song Chi chose the eastern direction, which was the main ridge of the Granite Mountain Range and the most likely area for the Fifth Rank Starlight Clan member to hide.
After all, the One-Eyed Ogre was following the Celestial Ruin Heaven, so it was natural for them to take on the greatest risk.
Time passed, and several hours went by in the blink of an eye.
Song Chi furrowed his brows. The Granite Mountain Range was too vast, with dense primeval forests, and the limitations of the Spirit Gaze Eye made the Celestial Ruin Heaven seem like a headless fly, aimlessly darting around.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of an excellent solution.
His gaze shifted to the Yang Twin Bond Talisman, more specifically, to the 'Yin Unity' characteristic of this component.
After completing the binding, this characteristic allowed him to borrow a capability from Shen Youran's Deer Hunt Ship, the White Snow Qingyou, with each activation, and not randomly, but as he designated.
As his thoughts turned, the 'Yin Unity' characteristic was activated, and Song Chi vaguely saw numerous special rune modules in his vision.
Red Rune: Thunderstone Hull Armor - Thunderstone Guardian
Silver Rune: Radiant Particle Energy Shield - True Defense
Red Rune: Streaming Light Electrical Instrument - Streaming Shadow Escape
Red Rune: True Eye - Biometric Detection
...
Obviously, these rune modules were various component capabilities of the White Snow Qingyou. Song Chi could freely choose one of them for temporary use.
It is essential to emphasize that after choosing a capability, the next time this 'Yin Unity' characteristic is activated, he can still freely select a capability, rather than being fixed to the previously selected option.
This alone is enough to demonstrate the power of the Yang Twin Bond Talisman.
The only drawback is that it cannot simulate capabilities above the quality of the component itself. In other words, if Shen Youran activates this characteristic, options for the Twirling Meditation Seal and Antimatter Evolution Engine will not appear.
Additionally, the capability used in the previous activation will not be listed again if it has a cooldown time.
Song Chi regained his focus and confirmed the 'Biometric Detection' rune module.
As he confirmed, the radar map displayed by the Spirit Gaze Eye quickly showed various colored light points, each representing different life levels, as explained by Shen Youran.
Song Chi's gaze shifted, quickly searching for the cyan light points, which were emitted by Fifth Rank entities.
Soon, Song Chi successfully spotted a cyan light point on the radar map, but instead of showing any joy, he was shocked.
If he wasn't mistaken, the cyan light point on the radar map overlapped with the current location of the Celestial Ruin Heaven.
The implications of this were clear.
